'Twas brillig, and David Walser at 09/02/13 22:51 did gyre and gimble:

+
+FWIW, I was under the imporession we would be sticking with 3.6. There
+are some changes in 3.8 that might make it a bit tricker to use it (i.e.
+what to do with fallback support etc.) without further testing and
+support (e.g. ensuring the llvm rendering works well enough on older h/w)
+
+Will be interesting to see if this situation has changed (in general I
+like the idea of 3.8 being pushed, but perhaps this should be done later
+as an update should there be a general consensus on that).
